Mbappe's contract runs until the summer of 2024 and according to a leaked letter, he has announced that he will not be renewing his contract with PSG after next season. This has shocked PSG officials, who believe that Mbappe is "betraying" them when the contract renewal negotiations are still going smoothly. A PSG spokesperson told the New York Times that it is a lie to say that Kylian Mbappe's team has never been involved in contract renewal negotiations with the club.

With Mbappe's contract set to expire in the summer of 2024, PSG are under pressure to sell the striker before letting him leave as a free agent. However, Mbappe himself has insisted he will remain at the Parc des Princes until the end of next season, denying rumours that he is looking to move to Real Madrid this summer.

In another development, a source from PSG revealed to the press that PSG will put the team's long-term goals first, not allowing any individual to affect the set roadmap. This proves that PSG officials are no longer interested in the 24-year-old striker.

Real Madrid are looking for a new striker following the departure of Karim Benzema and have targeted Tottenham's Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe as possible replacements. Mbappe's row with PSG could be the turning point that helps the Spanish giants secure his signature in the coming weeks.

* According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, N'Golo Kante will join Al-Ittihad to become Benzema's teammate in the Saudi Pro League after the two sides have reached a contract agreement. Al-Ittihad has agreed to pay the French midfielder a salary of 200 million euros on a 2-year contract. Kante has also passed a medical test and will officially join the team next week.

This is seen as a big deal for the 32-year-old midfielder, who has been plagued by injuries but has been a high performer every time he has played. Kante has endured a difficult season at Chelsea, playing just nine games due to a long-term injury. His absence has had a significant impact on the Blues' performance, with the Stamford Bridge side finishing 12th in the Premier League and failing to qualify for next season's European Cup.

Coach Mauricio Pochettino is carrying out a major overhaul of Chelsea's squad. A number of stars such as Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have been put on the transfer list due to limited contributions. Al-Ittihad's interest in Kante is not new, this information appeared 2 weeks ago. The team has recruited Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema to strengthen the midfield. Kante and Benzema are also no strangers to each other, as both have played for the French national team and have met many times at club level. With the presence of the "2018 World Cup champions", Al-Ittihad promises to become a formidable force in Asian football in the near future.
